Blake knew Ezra very well, and he was aware of the risks involved in Pearl’s plan. He also recognized that Pearl’s actions might even infuriate Ezra.

Blake agreed, even though it would be the first time he had ever told such a big lie to Ezra. Yet, he felt surprisingly calm, almost exhilarated by the thrill of doing something forbidden.
